Figure I Tissue Engineering Strategies for Organ Development. (First row) Source and isolation of stem cells/cells, usually autologous. Abbreviation: MSCs, mesenchymal stem cells. (Second row) 3D scaffolds, where oxygen-generating biomaterials may enhance the formation of the microvasculature. (Third row) Growth factors, peptides, or stimulation to enhance cell proliferation and integration to the surrounding tissue. (Fourth row) Constructs can be placed in bioreactors in vitro or inside patients in vivo prior to transplantation [6].
